The A/C compressor is controlled by the PCM. It grounds the clutch relay.
The pressure switch is either on or near the accumulator- the large silver cylinder on the left side of the engine compartment, under the air clener.

When you say it isn't working what exactly is the problem.

There is no boost. The gauge shows no boost when I accelerate.

You have to determine if it is an actual no boost condition, or a gauge problem. You should feel a big loss in acceleration from what was normal if there is no boost.

If there is none, check the belt. Other than that, the supercharger may have broke inside. That is about all that goes wrong with them.

All three of those codes can each cause the sputtering problem you are experiencing. The P0300 is a general misfire code meaning you have had or currently have enough misfires on one or more cylinders to set that code. The P0336 code is for the crankshaft position sensor, and the P0401 code is for the exhaust gas recirculation (EGR) system.

Now, a bad crank sensor can cause misfires and also the poor performance you're having, so you might want to start there. Since you've replaced the ignition components, it's probably not that unless you have a bad coil or module.

The EGR issue is for lack of flow, which usually means the system is clogged up with carbon deposits, and is fairly common. This can require EGR valve replacement, or other system components. It would really need to be tested to see what needs to be replaced.
